I watched Red Dawn last night.  It had been over 10 years.  There are some interesting messages to gun owners.  I recommend watching this one again if you have not seen it in a while.

From Wikipedia:

Red Dawn depicts collaboration, portraying the local mayor as someone who works with the occupational forces. Actor Lane Smith plays the role of the "Vichyste" mayor who tries to appease the occupational authorities. He watches as several of the residents of his town are executed as reprisal hostages and later gives up his own son (who is later executed by the Wolverines as a result) to the KGB.

Director John Milius portrays the private ownership of weapons as a necessary element of anti-Communism. Early in the film, a bumper sticker seen on a truck states a classic gun owner’s creed: "They can have my gun when they pry it from my cold, dead fingers." The shot moves down to a dead man's hand holding an M1911 Colt pistol, which a Soviet paratrooper later picks up. As the protagonists flee the initial invasion of Calumet, they stop at a local sporting goods store owned by one of their fathers. He tells them to gather supplies and gives them several rifles, shotguns, and pistols along with boxes of ammunition (the father and his wife are later executed because of the guns missing from the store’s inventory). In a later scene, Colonel Bella, the Cuban officer, instructs the KGB to go to the local sporting goods store and obtain the paperwork of local citizens who own firearms as likely suspects of trouble. The Cuban officer specifically refers to Form 4473, which is the actual BATF form used to record the sale of a firearm by a dealer to a private citizen in the United States, suggesting an inherent danger in laws that require firearm registration in such a situation. Later in the film the Wolverines make almost exclusive use of captured Soviet weapons such as AKMs, RPKs, and RPGs from their first engagement onwards for greater effectiveness.

I caught that the first time I saw it, which was fairly recently. I was impressed by that bit in the movie. I doubt the remake will be nearly as good.

Untill it comes out and I see it, I will refer to it as "Redrawn".

Rob

It might be pro gun. Theirs a new trend in america. Its called. Arm yourself. OR be a victim.

LOL


Hollywood has a hard time making "real" movies anymore.



The form 4473 is a type of registration.

It sure is.  Proof is in my hand.  Letter from the BATF asking that I contact them regarding a rifle I bought in 2002.  I haven't decided whether to shred it or have my lawyer call them.

Amerika.

I hope all these scenes are in the new one. I won't hold my breath.

Is this a rifle you still own or did you sell it? Crap like this is why I prefer FTF transactions.

lawyer or call them and tell them to fuck off



 

better one...

It needs to be Eric Holder instead...

The lesson to be learned here, if SHTF, to make sure Americans get to the 4473's before the Commies.
